Sheffield Children's Hospital - SSU cushions
We were asked to design & make a series of bespoke cushions and bolsters for the hospital’s newly developed Safeguarding Support Unit.
Artfelt worked with staff in the unit and psychologists to create a unique space which is designed to feel welcoming, neutral and safe. As well as play equipment for all ages, it also has innovative digital art pieces for children during their visit.
The digital installations are complemented by colourful artwork which now adorns the windows, flooring and ceiling in the new unit. Each piece has been made to appeal to all ages whilst simultaneously softening the space, so it feels less clinical.
Our patchwork designs have been created with the interior artwork in mind and have been developed using a soft palette of organic colours and soft shapes.
Spread throughout the unit they provide additional comfort to custom covered furnishings.
We feel very honoured to have been invited by Artfelt to collaborate on this commission.
